The hottest day of the year brought death to two persons in Camden and Philadelphia, yesterday and caused general discomfort from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast. No relief is expected today, except possible showers.

Edward T. McAllister, 67, of 633 Bailey Street, collapsed late yesterday in an alley at the rear of 914 North Sixth Street. Neighbors called police who took him to Cooper Hospital where he was pronounced dead. Coroner Benjamin R. Denny said death was due to heart attack, induced by the heat.

Veteran at Esterbrook's

McAllister was returning home from the Esterbrook Pen Company plant where he was employed 20 years. He was in ill health recently. His widow, Lottie, survives. Funeral services will be held at 2.30 p. m. tomorrow at the Denny funeral home 736 Market
Street. Burial will be in Arlington cemetery.

The Philadelphia victim was William Barchmaier, 42, of 4059 Teesdale Street, who collapsed at Keystone and Cottman Streets, Tacony. He was pronounced dead at Frankford Hospital.

The weather bureau does not hold out much hope for a change today. Continued warm weather, with possible thundershowers in the afternoon is forecast.

Shortly after 1:00
PM on December 13, 2007 a police car on
patrol spotted heavy smoke coming from a row of vacant
dwellings in the 600 block of Bailey Street in the North
Camden section of the city. At the same time Camden
Country Fire Radio and Camden Police 911 Center were
receiving calls for the same fire location.
Companies were now dispatched along with Battalion 2 Chief
Mike DiPascale. Fire Radio informed Battalion 2 that
they were receiving numerous calls and were adding the
extra Engine Company to the Box.

Engine
Company 6, under
the Command of Captain Sandrock was first on location and
reported that he had a row of two story vacant dwellings
with the first two dwellings heavily involved and that he
was going in service. Battalion 2 was now on
location and informed Fire Radio to strike an All Hands
Box and requested an additional Engine and Ladder Company
to be dispatched.

It was a rainy, misty day and the
smoke was so heavy that fire fighters had a hard time
trying to see up the street to where the fire was located. All of the dwellings were heavily boarded up, making it
extremely hard for the fire fighters to make entry.
Truck Companies went up to the roof to ventilate. Six
1-3/4" lines were now in service as fire fighters
were making good progress attacking the fire. They
were able to contain the blaze to two dwellings with some
damage to the third dwelling. About 40 minutes into
the fire Chief DiPascale placed the fire Under Control.
The fire is being investigated by the Camden City Fire
Marshal's Office and the Camden Police Department Arson
Squad.

A three-hour drive conducted by State motor vehicle inspectors against
reckless driving on Crescent boulevard between West Col-lingswood and
Brooklawn early yesterday netted nine arrests.

The drive also included cursory inspection of patrons leaving cafes and
inns at the 2 o'clock closing hour. Many drivers accepted the advice of inspectors to permit other licensed drivers to take them home.

Justice of the Peace Oliver J. Stetser, of Gloucester, was summoned from
bed to arraign the nine men, all of whom had been arrested between 1 and 4 a. m. Several drivers were examined by Dr. George M. Adams, of
Gloucester, but none was pronounced intoxicated or unfit to drive.

Some
Memories of the 800
block of Bailey StreetClick on Images to

My family lived at 830 Bailey St from 1953 (I was 8 yrs
old and in the third grade at Read Elementary
school) until 1968. My parents were Herbert and Helen Sampson and have 6 Daughters Anne
(me), Helen, Stella, Carol, Michelle and Mary. My father drove oil rigs for Matlack
trucking which was later bought out by Hess Oil. After my family left 830 Bailey a
Hispanic person bought it.

My Father (upright Bass), Al Bush (drums), Al Davidson (guitar) and Ed
Bowles (guitar and piano) had a band and they would set up on our porch at Christmas and play music for the neighbors and everyone drank and had
a good time. My dad and other guys, Calvin and Carlton "Cush" Krause,
David Gladney would get together and set up block parties with beer kegs
and music. One time the adults on the block gathered with their lawn chairs up on the corner of 9th and Bailey and one of the kids on the
block called the cops reporting a bunch of kids partying on the corner. The cops came and saw all the adults and left.

Another time the young guys on the block lifted Robert Morris's
Volkswagen onto his porch and when Robert opened his door to go to work or school, his car was there.

When the great north eastern blackout happened everyone on the block was
watching the first showing of Outer Limits on TV. It just said "We control your
TV" and all the lights went out. The Krause's and us and other's on the block ran out on our porches and freaked out.

I remember the man going down the back alley way yelling " Clothes
props, come and buy your clothes props.

The kids on the block played in the alley ways a lot and on
Pyne Poynt
by the river. On Halloween we soaped windows and rang doorbells and ran.
On Christmas Eve I remember walking down York
Street in the snow to go to midnight mass at Holy Name Catholic Church and on the way there was a
little shop that was all lit up for Christmas.

Next door to us 832
Bailey were the Krause family, Calvin, Mary (She worked for Sears) and their children Calvin Jr., Maryann, Paul, Billie,
Joseph and Stephen. On the other side of us was David and Ruth Gladney and son. He played piano
by ear and he and my dad always played jokes on each other. Next to Mr. Gladney was the Murphy family, Mr & Mrs. Murphy and their children Joe
(who died a young man in a car accident), Agnes, Margaret, Donna and
Louise. Margaret lives at the shore somewhere with I think her 5
children.

At 834 Bailey
lived Carlton Krause and wife with son Robert lived next door to Calvin.
Carlton Krause had a son named Carlton Jr. and a son named Phillip. My sister told me that Robert Krause, Carlton Krause Jr.,
Margaret Murphy and Donna Murphy all live in Cape May, New Jersey. Louise Murphy lives in Delaware and Calvin Krause in
Collingswood.

At
836 Bailey was Mr. & Mrs. Reibel and sons Danny and ?. 838 Bailey Street was Mr. &
Mrs. Morris and son Robert. 846 Bailey had John and Lulu Reppert and son Jack.
who married Agnes Murphy. 848 Bailey was the home of Mr. & Mrs. Burkhardt
and sons Billy, Richard (married Linda Taylor from York
Street), Robert and daughter Mary Ellen.
847 Bailey had Flexitallic Gasket company at one end and the paper factory at the
other.

818 Bailey: James J. Owens, his mother lived
there and her Granddaughter Suzanne Owens would visit and we would play with her and she had so many toys we thought she was a rich
girl. She lived in Pennsylvania. Suzanne's parents were divorced. 824 Bailey Mrs.
Beckett with her disabled brother Richard, and her son George. 812 Bailey
was Mr. Shoemaker. 814 Bailey Mr. & Mrs. Baker and son ? and daughter Margaret.

North Camden Wife Swindled
By Man Offering Husband JobWoman Borrows $5 From Neighbor and Gives It to Stranger; Fraud
Revealed on Trip to Philadelphia City Hall

A North Camden woman was fleeced of $5 yesterday and left without
funds to walk home from Philadelphia City Hall by a confidence man who promised her husband a job.

She borrowed the $5 from a neighbor after the stranger offered to get
Downing a job if he registered at Philadelphia City Hall as a solicitor.

Mrs. Downing said the stranger first asked her to advance a $12
registration fee, but later compromised for $5 and said he would obtain the balance from Downing's first week's salary.

Mrs. Downing accompanied the stranger by bus to Philadelphia
when he said she might register for her husband. Near City Hall, he left the bus, telling her to go to Room 542 and ask for Mr. Sells.

"He said he would telephone and fix everything up for me," she told
police. The woman reported she found there was no Room 542 and no Mr. Sells.

Mrs. Downing said the swindler obtained her address through her
husband's father, George, 936 Cedar street, after he approached George Downing and asked him where he could contact 20 young men who
wanted to earn from to $10 daily.

818 Bailey... James J Owens, his mother lived
there and her Granddaughter Suzanne Owens would visit and we would play with her and she had so many toys we thought she was a rich
girl. She lived in Pennsylvania. Suzanne's parents were divorced.
